Your main problem is the interface between php/win32 and postgresql/cygwin. This interface is included in the file php_pgsql.dll which, in turn, relies on the C language interface to postgresql, which is the pq library.

As I checked the PHP 4.0.5/WIN32 binary distribution the pq library is placed under the "dlls" directory, and is named libpq.dll.

So the easiest way to solve your problem is to copy this file in the "extensions" directory, where php_pgsql.dll resides. Of course you must check, as stated in a previous message, the line
extension=php_pgsql.dll
in php.ini.

And a last hint: be sure to start the postmaster with "-i" option in its command line. This enables the tcp/ip communication, which is the only connection mode available under win32.
